In Brief
The appellant challenged orders dated 22.07.2016 and 16.09.2016, seeking modification and impleadment in the proceedings. The High Court had dismissed his application for modification without hearing him. The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, set aside the dismissal order, directed the appellant's impleadment as an additional respondent, and remitted the matter to the High Court to hear the modification application on merits and pass fresh orders within three months. The Court's interim protection granted earlier was extended pending the High Court's decision.
